Opis

The Nation`s economy is dependent on the success of mining operations. Mining is the basic industry that extracts minerals, or processes them largely. Because of recent energy crises, for example, the production of coal and its processing for power generation has been taken on a renewal importance. The impacts of mining operation are complex and need extreme care to be taken on long term basis. The safer mining enterprise provides higher productivity.Unless there is a common understanding of terms, there can be considerable confusion in transmitting information and knowledge. This can be particularly vexing in the understanding of safety literature in which such terms as "injury" and "accident" are often used interchangeably. Furthermore, definitions of accidents and hazards adopted for classification purposes may not be detailed enough to use as a basis for hazard control.
